TIRE PRESSURE
A low pressure gauge is provided in the tool kit under the seat, So you can
measure the air pressure in your ATV tires. Check the air pressure in all
tires before each use of the vehicle. Improper air pressure can aect hand-
ing, maneuverability, traction, lire life and rider comfort. Be sure that the
tires are inated to the pressure shown below, Tire pressure should only be
measured or adjusted when the tires are old, or misleading measurements
can result.
Using a high pressure alr pump to ll the tires can be hazardous, If too
much air is put into a tire, the tire may burst, causing severe injury. Use a
manual type air pump to ll the tires.
TIRE REPLACEMENT
Air in the low—pressure tubeless tires of this vehicle is sealed by the con-
tact surfaces of the inner wheel rim and tire bead. If either the inner wheel
rim or tire bead is damaged, air may leak. Be extremely careful not to
damage these sections when replacing tires. When breaking the tire bead
loose from the wheel, be extremely careful not to damage the inner surface
or the tire bead.
e ATV’s tires are intended to rotate in a specific direction, as indicated
by the arrows on the sidewall of each tire. Be sure to install tires so they
rotate in the proper direction or you may experience poor handing.
It is very important to use the proper tools when repairing or replacing
tires, to prevent damage to the tire bead or wheel rims. We highly rec-
ommend that you have work done by your dealer or qualied tire repair
station.
